Anybody ever heard the song 'Kill The King' by Rainbow?

[chaska]

I find myself singing it more and more lately. I wonder why.

1. A fun little ditty

Moat of the lyrics don't apply but the end is kinda nice.

"Kill The King"

(Blackmore/Dio/Powell)

Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill
There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the King
Tear him down
Kill the King
Strike him down

Power, power it happens every day
Power, devour all along the way
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the wind
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the King

Treason, treason, the specter looms again
Treason, treason, the realm is safe and then
Oh no, move me out of harm
I need a spell and a charm
Fly like the rainbow
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on

Kill the King
Tear him down
Kill the King
Got to take his crown

Kill the King
He'll rule no more
Strike him dead

He'll rule no more
Strike him dead
The people roar
Kill the King
Take his head
Down, down, down, down
Oh, kill
Oh, kill
Oh, oh

3. "The King is Dead" by Helstar

since we're on a theme... :evilgrin:




Assassin, Assassin
They've come to take his life
They wave the flag of Anarchy
And chant "The King Must Die"

The overthrow of authority
must start with his demise
And so the witches all concede
that we must close his eyes

The King Is Dead, The King Is Dead

Royal blood will flow like wine
When the hands of death break free
To grip at last the majestic soul
of this our dying king

We'll pay no homage to this man
his death means but one thing
The prophecy has been fulfilled
to let you people sing

The King Is Dead, The King Is Dead

We'll throw his head to the ground
To show he wears no crown
We'll stone them till they bleed
To the wolves, them will feed

All we need is a lock from his hair
And then we'll soon be there
The spell will then begin
His life will surely end

He'll not see you coming, all he'll see
is the flash of the shimmering steel
Rush of the pain, from the venomous sting
Will surely force him to kneel

The kiss of death upon his lips
The cold embrace of doom
The sudden attack of anxiety
Will begin to end very soon

The King Is Dead, The King Is Dead
